Default To Annie and other boffins

I'm just wondering, with the many posts recently that I've read on the ALS forums, there seems to be many confusion between differentiating MG and ALS, and many who have been diagnosed to have ALS are thinking that they may only MG and not ALS after all.

Are there any tests to differentiate or rule out?

I have directed quite a few of them over to this site, but I'm not sure if they'll ever have the time to check in considering what they are going through on their side.

The last update I receivd from the poor guy whose dad was in ICU for 3 months, was that the docs still insists that its ALS despite whatever the family does, and its now been more than 100 days but the dad's still in ICU.

I really wish that more can be done for these poor souls, but the amt of info I have on my side is really limited, and I have little or no medical knowledge thats able to be of any use to them.

Should we have a sticky just so that people who come on this site can refer to that immediately? I don't know, am just wondering...
